Thinking about a Ruger Mini-30...

[In-Yo-Grill]

Is the 7.62x39 a good hunting round?

Trying to justify the purchase. A little help please.

I've never hunted with mine.

Buy an AK, SKS, and 10k rounds of ammo first.... That justified the purchase for me.

Convo in my head: oooohhhhh nice a mini 30 at Walmart....it's on sale..... Well I have a ton of ammo for it..... Sounds good.

Lips say: excuse me do you work in sporting goods?

This was years back. Mostly it just sets. But it is fun to plink with.

Sure is makes for a heck of a pig or deer round.

Sierrra gameking has several great hunting rounds in .311 DIA so if you handload it would be best for this gun. I have mine and I LOVE IT! Granted i've not hunted with it yet, its a great range rifle.

No doubt there's a fun factor with AK ammo. Seems to be readily available and costs less than .223.

How much should I expect to spend per round for 7.62? Pre/Post panic buying of course.

36 cents a round right now.

I used to buy wolf ammo 1000 rounds for 79-100 bucks... but that was back in the 90's (Ammo cans are your friend when you find deals)

I'm buying a brass cased Romanian JSP for $7.75 per box of 20. Highly underrated hog and deer round.
